"It's the black dragon, it's back."

Unlike immortal species such as true dragons and goblins, mortals cannot resist the washing of time, so seven years have passed, and the young nobleman who was young at the beginning is now approaching thirty, with narrow eyebrows and a neatly trimmed beard, so that Roy has a strong mature color, and his body is no longer emaciated.

At this moment he was dressed in civilian clothes, with a ribbon tied to the button, and walked into the earl's study with a solemn expression, and spoke.

"Father."

The nobleman, who was no longer young, bowed slightly: "In addition to the great victory, I think we should focus on it first, and guard against the attack of a true dragon." ”

With lightning speed, the Brandos swept away three territories adjacent to Kaki and hanged three of Grand Duke Lane's supporters, but instead of immediately expanding the war, they slowed down and chose to digest their vested interests before moving on to the next step.

"Your instinct again this time?"

Count Brando, holding his pipe in his right hand, looked up through the smoke, his grim eyes, thick eyebrows, and gray hair cut in the style of a soldier in a strange contrast.

"It's a well-founded intuition, father."

Roy found an armchair facing the window and sat down, and said, "I investigated, and it was not a rumor, but a premeditated poison sword. No one is going to turn over the old story, except our enemies. ”

"There are many enemies in the Blanches."

"But there aren't many that know that the card base is thin."

Roy took a sip of tea: "Brian Chloe is my man, yes, but seven years ago, he was already dead and disappeared in the Battle of the Wild. It turned out that only now had a letter in his voice stated, which must have been forged. ”

"There is only one possibility, our enemy at that time has returned." Roy concluded.

"Sylvia is a real disappointment."

The old count smiled sarcastically: "The powerful Mother of Poison? Unexpectedly, even a black dragon could not be completely solved, and it was actually given a chance to make a comeback. ”

"Father, the pressure on us from the Rhine is not great, and the Northland Alliance has not yet reacted." Roy continued,

The Northland Alliance is too large a machine with many parts, resulting in slow transmission and slow response, so so far, this war has been a civil strife in the Rhine, and the Northland countries have not intervened.

On this premise, Roy proposed: "Please allow me to return to the Kaki border with half of my soldiers, and garrison the rear for you in case of a sudden enemy." ”

To tell the truth, Roy was very jealous of the black dragon and remembered it vividly, and the battle of the wilderness made the second son of the earl, who had been soaring all the way, taste defeat.

In that encounter, he originally had an absolute advantage, but the opponent grabbed the pain point again and again and turned the tide of the battle, even if he opened the last hole card - the green dragon Sylvia appeared, the opponent also escaped smoothly.

That black dragon is completely different from those lazy and stupid five-colored dragons who can only use brute force.

And when it returns, it will bring a storm.

Roy had to admit that he was scared and worried. This time it was very different from the past, they were in the light and the other party was in the dark, and he didn't even know how strong the black dragon was now and how much power he had under his hands.

And those dark eyes were staring at them, taking the opportunity to devour.

Now the other party is just playing a little trick, and it doesn't take much effort to spread a rumor, and the Blanch family is so embarrassed that they have to be forced to start a rebellion war in advance.

God knows what kind of storm that black dragon will bring when it really strikes.

There was no way, Roy had to prepare in advance, cautiously and desperately wanting to return to the Kaki border in case the black dragon could attack at any time.

I don't know where the enemy is and where he is, and defending is the only thing he can do so far.

"Do you know why you failed that time? My baby. ”

The old earl sighed softly and put his pipe down: "You are very clever, you are used to taking everything into account, step by step. That's all well and good, but you're too young and too shallow to see things for what they are. ”

"The reason why you want to go back to defend Kaki is because of the black dragon's possible attack, but you haven't thought about why it is attacking? Will it attack? ”

"You tell me for yourself that it's a unique dragon, not a reckless fool like a red dragon."

The old earl looked at him: "What reason do you think it has to attack us?" At this time of age. ”

"Why?"

Roy was a little puzzled, hesitated for a while, and then said tentatively: "Because we are now weak, and the army is thrown into the battlefield against the Rhine Duchy, and it can easily defeat us and complete revenge." ”

It was obvious that Roy didn't know why his father was asking himself.

"Looks like you still don't understand."

The old earl shook his head and explained, "To satisfy that insignificant feeling of revenge? Too naïve, what good will it do to attack us at this time? To an evil dragon, we are the same enemies as the other humans of the Northlands. ”

"Isn't the enemy caught up in internal friction just what it wants to see? If the black dragon attacked at this time and wiped out the Branjia family, and finally didn't want to be driven out of the Northland countries by the others, what good could it get? ”

"The behavior of any intelligent creature is driven by its own purpose, and most of this purpose is profit."

The old count concluded: "In Eladia, the so-called good and evil, glory and revenge, are all ridiculous lies used to fool the lower classes, and we only talk about profit. ”

"In the second era of the past, the proud Valkyrie of the Sunset Empire, in order to win the help of the Giant Clan, was willing to be by those ugly giant leaders for four days and four nights, what could make a legend succumb, not for the benefit of the Sunset Empire?"

The old earl sneered and said, "Let the human race fight among themselves, and use others to suppress our power; Or do you want to jump out now, turn yourself into an external contradiction, and let humanity unite to fight it. What do you think the black dragon will choose? ”

"So, father."

Roy Brando's face flushed slightly, he hadn't been taught like this in a long time, "What do you think we should do now?" ”

"Just let the green dragon know."

The old earl stood up: "We don't need to take care of the defense of the border, maintain the status quo, and swallow and digest the Rhine as soon as possible." ”

In the old earl's speculation, the black dragon did not use revenge methods such as assassination, but only spread rumors, and it seems that it just wanted to put the Brando family in a quagmire, unable to react to the changes in the outside world.

In this way, the other party's first target is the green capital.

In fact, the old earl was already disappointed in the green dragon, of course he couldn't be so kind to remind Sylvia, he just wanted the other party to fight with the black dragon, if it was best to kill the black dragon, even if he couldn't stop it, he would delay it for a while as much as possible.

With this time, the Brandes can defeat Archduke Lane, seize the power of the Rhine, and then find a way to entrap other countries and stabilize the situation.
